Lepez, Virgen share love of game, each other

It takes a lot to distract Raul Yepez when there's a soccer ball at his feet. But Mayra Virgen managed to break his concentration five years ago. Yepez spotted Virgen across the field when she arrived to train with his club team, and he was immediately smitten with his fellow striker.

Oxnard residents Mayra Virgen and Raul Yepez who have been dating since high school and now attend CLU. Both Virgen and Yepez are stikers for the CLU soccer team.
